How to get to a website when your anti-virus thinks it's dangerous, and you don't
Under no circumstances should you add torrent and file sharing sites and sites hosting illegal software and video copies to that list, no matter how much you'd like to. [Неуёмный Обыватель]

Why is Facebook not classed as a virus or an undesirable website.
Comments: 14Memorabilia I got the urge to search for somebody who I knew when I was a teenager. I searched and searched and searched and eventually I found the name and they had some pictures of when they was a teenager and I recognised them!
The virus called Facebook would not let me contact them unless I registered to go on Facebook. I did so I registered. They wanted my e-mail address ok. They wanted my date of birth made one up. And hey presto I was on the virus called Facebook.
I sent the person a message and then logged off of the virus called Facebook. I went to have a look to see whether my old friend had answered me.
I tried to log on to Facebook and it said I could not logon until I gave them my mobile telephone number for advertising reasons.
I refuse to give them my telephone number but I can no longer delete myself off of the virus called Facebook because I cannot log on to them to delete my account. It was only a temporary account to contact an old teenager friend.
And now this dreadful virus called Facebook has got me on their Facebook although there is no information about me they still have my e-mail address.
Now I have got to go for this long long routine of reporting them to the data protection agency just to get deleted. The Facebook virus should definitely be listed in antivirus products.
Now I am suffering from stress! [Philip]
A user facing "something"
No the story should have read remember HP driver that was a virus https://www.theregister.com/2001/01/24/hp_distributes_virus_infected_drivers/.

Coincidence even repairs do not like HP's https://youtu.be/Lye6GP3tdG0 [Philip]
An anti-virus in extreme conditions
Exclude all possibilities of software incompatibility and the rest falls on hardware failure. [Niuxin]
Comments: 13Time bombs in emails
Servers and PCs need anti-spam software running at any time. [Niuxin]
Comments: 11The connecting link
Both mobile network and wired connection are vital. [Niuxin]
Comments: 12The many faces of Linux
Could the android kernel be considered the Linux kernel? ( troll ) they use different chips like Qualcomm. Could the Apple system be called https://www.freebsd.org/ no. My smartphone does not have any Google software programs = App its brand name is "Meitu T8 Model MP1602."
Comments: 14I do not like Linux or its desktops even though I use Xfce, and "Dr.Web" on a Linux desktop on a HP Z840 graphic workstation to protect the Microsoft Windows systems 7 pro for the workstations.
I test to see if "Dr.Web" is up-to-date every now and again on a malware database website:
https : // urlhaus.abuse.ch/browse/ "Here you can propose new malware urls or just browse the URLhaus database. If you are looking for a parsable list of the dataset, you might want to check out the URLhaus API. There are 444'027 malicious URLs tracked on URLhaus. The queue size is 1"
My HP Linux server also has "Dr.Web" on it feeding torrent files from around the world "Dr.Web" has been very good on that one gives me an option to delete or ignore incoming questionable software. I would use Linux desktops all the time if they had a speech recognition program, I hate typing! My smart phone as speech recognition and one of my Windows workstations has a program called "Dragon NaturallySpeaking" a voice recognition program, and like a calculator you become dependent on them rather than using your own brain you use a calculator or a speech recognition program.
I always worry about "Dr.Web" when I am looking at pornographic material on the Internet I try to switch it off but I get a nagging feeling that they are watching it with me. I type this on my Linux desktop be grateful for that.. [Philip]
